In her video post, the model said she was too shocked and afraid to scream or react at the time.

“People said I should have shouted or slapped him, but no one really understands what goes through a woman’s mind at that moment. I just wanted to stay safe,” she added.

The model, who is also a digital creator with over 38,000 followers on Instagram, said that after receiving no response from any agency, she shared a video of herself recounting the incident at the intersection on 4 August, once again tagging the relevant agencies and officials.
